The vajra or thunderbolt is regarded as the
weapon of lord Indra, the lord the gods. Similarly this asana may be
regarded as the king of all asanas related with the mind, the king
of all the senses. Vajra is major pulse (nadi) directly related with
the genito- urinary system which regulates the sensual energy of
body. There are over all fourteen asanas in Vajrasana series. All
these asanas are related with the digestive system and sensual
energy of a person. Therefore control of vajra nadi leads to
sublimation and control of sensual energy. Vajrasana series asanas
are most recommended in therapeutic yoga. There is hardly one person
who has never been afflicted with sensual or digestive problems.
After certain age even waist pain is normal problem. The vajrasana
series plays an important role in alleviating waist pain, spinal
chord or shoulder pain. These are also quite effective during
menstrual disorders and abortions like problems or even normal
delivery. That is why these days various doctors recommend yoga for
safe and normal delivery. There is no time boundation for these
asanas with only provision that you are on empty stomach and
healthy. One can perform vajrasana even during menstruation. This
relives one from pelvic strain, waist pain or burning sensation.
During Vajrasana the vital energy flow is towards sahsradhara from
muladhara which helps in meditation. Thus the sensual energy is
promoted towards spiritual upliftment. Even that person afflicted
with sciatica and slip disc who find unable to sit in meditational
poses, can practice vajrasana easily.
